The important thing
About a spoon is
That you eat with it.
It’s like a little shovel,
You hold it in your hand,
You can put it in your mouth,
It isn’t flat,
It’s hollow,
And it spoons things up.
But the important thing
About a spoon is that you eat with it.
THE IMPORTANT BOOKB Y M A R G A R E T W I S E B ROW N
“If we do not act, we shall surely
be dragged down the long dark
and shameful corridors of time
reserved for those who possess
power without compassion, might
without morality, and strength
without insight.”
---Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
When the majority hears something
from a higher power, they’ll believe
anything they hear. ---Jacob M.
“ Never doubt that a small group
of thoughtful, committed citizens
can change the world: indeed, it’s
the only thing that ever has.”---
Margaret Mead“…I know for sure that it brought
me closer to other people I don’t
talk to very often because I talk to
them a little bit more than I did
before this project.”---Jessie
